If you've picked up a book,iGirlfriend (2017) Full Movie Online then you know Christopher Columbus didn't discover the America. Not to mention that he represents some morally dubious issues like colonialism and exploitation. So why do lawmakers insist on dedicating a day to him?
In an important step forward, New Mexico ditched the holiday, joining other cities and states including Alaska, Vermont, and Oregon. On Tuesday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill to call Columbus Day Indigenous People's Day instead — a step more states and cities should take.

"Enacting Indigenous People's Day sends an important message of reconciliation and will serve as a reminder of our state's proud native history."
Despite the good news, however, there is still plenty of progress to be made. On Monday, Montana failed to make Indigenous Peoples' Day a state holiday after the bill was defeated by a state Senate panel. The committee chair, Rep. Dee Brown, R-Hungry Horse, cited financial reasons.
“I can’t support another state holiday,” she said. “We are trying to scramble for money for in-home health care for people.”
But ... but ... he killed people.
